Beautiful You meets Swirly Frames

Quick 'n' simple, Well I took a card created by Amanda Charlesworth and used different colours to use up some of my retired stash then jazzed it up with some ribbon and sparkle.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
(r) = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (h) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, (dsp) = designer series paper, (cs) = Card Stock

You will need:

Whisper White card base 10.5 x 29.7 cm scored at 14.85 cm.
Falling in Love (r) (dsp) measuring 11.5 x 8 cm.
Silver Foil measuring 11 x 7.5 cm.
Whisper White measuring 11 x 7.5 cm.
Beautiful You (ss) and Swirly Frames (ss).
Soft Sky ink (r), VersaMark.
Seam Binding (r) ribbon.
Aqua Painter, Stamparatus, Pinewood Planks embossing folder, Silver embossing powder, basic Rhinestones.

Emboss the front of the base card using the Pinewood Planks folder.
Adhere the silver foil to the dsp using liquid glue.
Cut a 4' strip of the ribbon, fold in half and cut a banner shape at each end and adhere towards the bottom of the silver foil.
Adhere this to the base card at a slight angle.
Prep the piece of whisper white (cs) using an embossing buddy and stamp the lady, rectangle frame and sentiment using versamark and heat emboss with silver powder.
Add a wash of colour using Soft Sky across the dress and hat.
Trim round the edge of the frame, add dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card.
Finish off with a few Rhinestones.

Will be back again soon with more cards

Simple 21st

It's our eldest Grandson's birthday today and as you can see he turns 21!!! What a mile stone that is.

Again I'm using some products that are no longer in the catalogue, naughty me.

I'm what they call a lonely crafter. None of my friends or family craft, so I've never really been able to turn my hobby into a cottage industry as so many demonstrators have been able to do, so I just do it for my own pleasure.

I keep trying to get people interested but so far no luck!!!

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
cs = Card Stock, dsp = Designer Series Paper, ® = Retired

Start with a Basic Black base card measuring 5” x 7”

Cut a piece of Sliver Foil measuring 4½” x 6½”  and using the Startdust and Large Numbers dies cut the Stardust and Numbers from the middle, place these to one side for now, then adhere this to the base card as the second layer.

Using Basic Black cs cut a third layer measuring 4¼” x 6¼” and emboss the sentiments using VersaMark and silver Embossing Powder and adhere to the second layer.

Cut another piece of Silver Foil 6¼” x 2” and back it with some Adhesive Sheeting, then die cut with the wavy lines from Swirly Scribbles dies.

Place the wavy lines across the middle of the card and adhere.

Using a piece of scrap Basic Black cs die cut a circle from the Layering Circles dies to fit just inside the silver starburst, emboss this with the Subtles embossing folder and adhere it. 

Using dimensionals place the numbers on top, then again using dimenionals add the starburst across the wavy lines.

That's it folks!!! job done.

Will be back again soon with more cards
